    Abstract Short stature may have a major impact on quality of life (QoL), not only during adulthood but also during childhood. Treatment by growth hormone may induce improvement in QoL through height gain, as shown in recent articles, with an increase in general health-related and also height-specific QoL assessed by self-reports and parental reports. In a paper published by our team, we show altered general-health QoL in patients with very short stature (≤ -3 SD) and an improvement in general and height-specific scales in the complete population (≤ -2 SD) after one year of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment, perceived both by children and their parents, with a moderate positive correlation with height gain. Adequate results in terms of height gain depend on different factors: the patient's age, underlying condition for which rhGH is prescribed and dose of rhGH treatment, among others. Daily injections may cause a significant burden for the child and family, and may alter adequate adherence to treatment. Identifying positive and negative factors in the patient and in the healthcare providers-patient team and encouraging a shared decision-making process are important for improving the patient's adherence to treatment. New long-acting forms of rhGH that will be available in the next few years may play an important part in improving treatment-related QoL and adherence to treatment. © 2022 French Society of Pediatrics.

    Abstract Selection of favourable micro-habitat conditions at nest-sites and nest defence can be important anti- predatory strategies in open-cup nesting birds. In response to nest predation risks, some species of birds appear to form protective nesting associations in which both may gain benefits due to mutual warning and nest defence. Despite the many studies assessing the impact of various factors on nest defence and nest placement, how interactions between species while breeding can modify these strategies is still poorly understood. Here I evaluate whether nesting associations in two species influence nest defence intensity and nest-site selection. An observational approach was used to analyse the defensive behaviours of the Barred Warbler

    Abstract Protein radical labeling, like fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP), coupled to a top-down mass spectrometry (MS) analysis offers an alternative analytical method for probing protein structure or protein interaction with other biomolecules, for instance, proteins and DNA. However, with the increasing mass of studied analytes, the MS/MS spectra become complex and exhibit a low signal-to-noise ratio. Nevertheless, these difficulties may be overcome by protein isotope depletion. Thus, we aimed to use protein isotope depletion to analyze FPOP-oxidized samples by top-down MS analysis. For this purpose, we prepared isotopically natural (IN) and depleted (ID) forms of the FOXO4 DNA binding domain (FOXO4-DBD) and studied the protein-DNA interaction interface with double-stranded DNA, the insulin response element (IRE), after exposing the complex to hydroxyl radicals. As shown by comparing tandem mass spectra of natural and depleted proteins, the ID form increased the signal-to-noise ratio of useful fragment ions, thereby enhancing the sequence coverage by more than 19%. This improvement in the detection of fragment ions enabled us to detect 22 more oxidized residues in the ID samples than in the IN sample. Moreover, less common modifications were detected in the ID sample, including the formation of ketones and lysine carbonylation. Given the higher quality of ID top-down MSMS data set, these results provide more detailed information on the complex formation between transcription factors and DNA-response elements. Therefore, our study highlights the benefits of isotopic depletion for quantitative top-down proteomics. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD044447.

    Abstract Compared to alloy bulk phase diagrams, the experimental determination of phase diagrams for alloy nanoparticles (NPs), which are useful in various nanotechnological applications, involves significant technical difficulties, making theoretical modeling a feasible alternative. Yet, being quite challenging, modeling of separation nanophase diagrams is scarce in the literature. The task of predicting comprehensive nanophase diagrams for Pd-Ir face-centered cubic-based three cuboctahedra is facilitated in this study by combining the computationally efficient statistical-mechanical Free-energy Concentration Expansion Method, which includes short-range order (SRO) with coordination-dependent bond-energy variations as part of the input and with rotationally symmetric site grouping for extra efficiency. This nanosystem has been chosen mainly because of the very small atomic mismatch that simplifies the modeling, e.g., in the assessment of vibrational entropy contributions based in this work on fitting to the Pd-Ir experimental bulk critical temperature. This entropic effect, together with SRO, leads to significant destabilization of low-T Quasi-Janus (QJ) asymmetric configurations of the NP core, which transform to symmetric partially mixed nanophases. First-order and second-order intracore transitions are predicted for dilute and intermediate-range compositions, respectively. Caloric curves computed for the former case yield the NP-size dependent transition latent heat, and in the latter case critical temperatures exhibit a specific scaling behavior. The computed separation diagrams and intracore solubility diagrams reflect enhanced elemental mixing in smaller QJ nanophases. In addition to these diagrams, the revealed near-surface compositional variations are likely to be pertinent to the utilization of Pd-Ir NPs, e.g., in catalysis.
